检查列表是否包含一个字符串/列表

包含字符串的第一种写法：

l = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = 'bbc'

if b in " ".join(l):
    print "aa"
else:
    print "bbb"

结果：

bbb

包含字符串的第二种写法：

l = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = 'bbc'

if b in l:
    print "aa"
else:
    print "bbb"

结果：

bbb

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
包含列表的第一种写法：

a = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

for ch in a:
    if ch in b:
        print ch, "is in b"
    else:
        print ch, "is not in b"

结果：

aa is not in b
bcb is not in b
bcc is in b

包含列表的第二种写法：

import itertools

a = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

for ch in itertools.ifilter(a.__contains__, b):
        print ch, "is in b"

结果：

bcc is in b

这个方法没有用到if语句，所以只显示配对成功的。

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

判断b是否包含a中的全部成员

a = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

res =  not set(a).difference(b)
print res

结果：

False

a = ['aaa', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

res =  not set(a).difference(b)
print res

结果：

True

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

返回a中所有不属于b的成员，以及b中所有不属于a的成员：

a = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

print set(a).difference(b)
print set(b).difference(a)

结果：

set(['aa', 'bcb'])
set(['bbc', 'aaa'])

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
返回a和b交集以外所有成员的集合：

a = ['aa','bcb', 'bcc']
b = ['bbc', 'bcc', 'aaa']

print set(a).symmetric_difference(b)
print set(b).symmetric_difference(a)

结果：

set(['aa', 'aaa', 'bbc', 'bcb'])
set(['aa', 'bbc', 'aaa', 'bcb'])
